Customer Withholding Payment on Racecar Wrap

So we finished up an expedited wrap job on a customer's racecar that they wanted to have look like an iRacing computer sim scheme they had made up by another fellow who has never "designed" anything for actual production other than virtual concepts (ie: raster world). It goes without saying the customer has no grip on raster vs. vector. Initial contact was made Thursday night 8:30pm MST, along with .psd files containing minimal vectoring along with a low-res base stock photo. Initial pricing was discussed and the customer repeatedly requested discounts. We finally agreed to appx. 15% off of the initial quote and committed to completing the project by Tuesday night since the cars we're to be loaded and headed out of the race shop in transit to the race that week on Thursday. Unfortunately we only required 50% payment down to start work on the job with 50% due at project completion. We started print immediately Friday and were able to complete the hood, nose and roof sections; only to find out Friday night that the car was not in condition to wrap and in fact required some extensive repair bodywork to front nose, fenders, hood as well as rear bumper. We installed the roof and had to stop work until the following Monday when the repairs had been completed enough for the wrap install. We continued print production in the meantime and had it ready to continue installation on Monday night. We worked throughout the afternoon and evenings past midnight Friday, Monday and Tuesday to complete the project, only to find Tuesday that the customer supplied manufacturer headlight & grille sticker ID kit was incorrect. We returned to the shop (40 minutes each trip btw) Wednesday morning to apply the contingency decals and correct ID kit only to find out 2 hours later that we would not be receiving the kit before the car left the shop. Thursday comes around and the only response from the customer was that he was unhappy with the final product and would be holding payment until we agreed to re-wrap the car completely, stating that sizing was off on the "wave" portion of the design. Friday/raceday rolls by with yet another round of complaints that the designer was calling for a re-wrap on the car stating that the wave was off proportion as well as some of the other elements. Ultimately I'm looking for feedback in the community here on how folks treat these situations. #1 we now understand that payment shall be due in full on rush/expedite jobs that have no specific dimensions, color palettes, or other specific requirements attached in the initial file download. #2 we now understand to mandate a minimum 2 week turnaround on jobs of this magnitude and nature. As of now we are planning to walk away from the project and take the loss.

What are your thoughts r/Design?

How do I get more involved in the music industry as a designer?

I've been involved in the "corporate design world" (freelance and regular 9 to 5 design studio job) for number of years now and I'm really sick of it at the moment.

I always loved doing gig posters, short promo animations, album cover art, band logos and anything music related because musicians are usually pretty chill, they give good feedback and I just found it fun to work with them. The thing is, music scene in my small country is pretty shit so when I was younger I did a lot of free work for these musicians and bands. I'm not a musician myself, I just like music and wanted to help these guys because no one else would.

It's good because I met a lot of really cool people but of course it sucks cause they didn't pay me shit. In the meantime I started taking design more serious, went to design school (just finished 3rd year) and over the years some of these dudes started treating me like a free design generator so I had to politely tell them to fuck off.

Now, being a bit more experienced I want to try it out again, I just have no idea where to start.

Now, I'm pretty confident I got the art part covered because I've been practising digital illustration and painting for years. I just need to figure out how to advertise myself. I set up a solid portfolio site but it's filled with "corporate" work and nothing really worthy enough to get noticed in music industry. It's the ol' catch-22 I guess - Can't get work because of empty portfolio, but portfolio is empty cause I can't get work.

So I had this idea to go to these famous YouTube channels (that promote bands by uploading their albums) and just leave comments about me designing album covers and if they are interested they can reach me at my e-mail. I got two replies. The first was "Fuck off with your plugs, I'm also a designer and you don't see me advertising here. Oh, and your logo sucks!", and the other comment was "Do it for freeeeee!". So I guess it wasn't such a smart idea, but I really got nothing left.

Any advice?

Graphics Tablet Advice

Hey there! I saw there was advice for someone buying a graphics tablet a while back, so I thought I would come along and ask the same.

My friends tend to use Wacom-Intuos-CTL-480-Graphic-Tablet but as it's unavailable right now (on amazon UK) I was intending on splurging on the newer model, the Wacom-Intuos-CTH-690AB-S-Graphics-Tablet - but I wanted a second opinion.

Is the latter a good choice? My spending range is anything reasonable around £150 ($200~) so the fact I can get that newer one for £84~ seems like a steal. I use both Mac & PC, but it will primarily be used on my Mac.

How do you deal with a client who complains Wordpress is too difficult?

I'm relatively new to web design, and have only been doing websites commercially for the last year. I've been using Wordpress as a CMS, as I find it the easiest for clients to use and it also affords flexibility and is cost effective. It is also rigid enough that I can set a site up so the client can cause minimal damage, In contrast to WIX were the client generally butchers the site as soon as you hand it over.

Recently had a client complain Wordpress is too difficult and has too many problems, after theyve been using the site I built for a good part of the year.

Now it seems they are wanting us to rebuild the site in Adobe Business Catalyst. Honestly I'm at the tipping point, and I don't know how to proceed. I feel like I've failed to design a functional wordpress site, even though I thought I'd built it quite fool proof.

My question is how should I proceed, should I just offer to do another sit down with them and try to explain how Wordpress works again or should I just agree to rebuild the site in Adobe BC which I have no experience in?

Looking for an affordable online source for a (probably) odd size note card

Hello!

I'm trying to find a source for a note card that will fold down to fit in a standard #10 envelope. The folded size needs to be 8.5 x 3.5. The idea is to use them for "thank you" cards for donors, and have the receipt tucked into the card. So far the best solution I've found is to get 8.5 x 14 can have cuts/scores applied. That's really expensive though. I need to print them on an as-needed basis. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello r/design,

I figured that maybe this is the best place to get help from so I thought I might give it a shot. I found these rather cool looking Half-Life posters and now I would like to print them to put them up in my apartment. I am really unexperienced with stuff like this, so I am not sure how to do this. Just printing the 1920 × 2967 jpgs in a big size (50-80cm in height) won't look good I assume. So what to do now? And what else do I need to consider when letting them being print?

What are your sources for design inspiration?

I used to have my go to sites to get inspiration from, especially for logo design, but they have become less helpful and saturated with bad design these days. My list used to be Behance, logopond, and Dribbble. Now all I have left if Behance.

What do you guys use for inspiration? Websites, books, instagram tags. Whatever you use I want to hear about it!
